Versions:
PDF Arranger 1.13.0 is a lightweight open-source utility that provides a graphical front end for the pikepdf library, enabling users to manipulate PDF files without altering their original content. Written in Python and GTK, the program displays pages as resizable thumbnails in a drag-and-drop workspace, allowing intuitive reordering, deletion, rotation, cropping, and insertion of selected sheets. Documents can be merged by simply dropping additional files into the window, while splitting is achieved by extracting chosen pages into new PDFs. The interface also supports batch duplication, resizing margins, and reversing page sequences, making it suitable for preparing lecture notes, legal briefs, scanned archives, or customized e-books. Originally forked from Konstantinos Poulios’s PDF-Shuffler to reinvigorate development, the project has released thirteen versions since its revival, steadily adding keyboard shortcuts, improved zoom controls, and better memory handling for large files. As a dedicated PDF tool, PDF Arranger fills the gap between basic viewers and full-featured editors by concentrating solely on page-level rearrangement tasks, ensuring that no unwanted metadata or compression artifacts are introduced. The application runs natively on Windows, Linux, and other GTK-supported platforms, requiring no installation of commercial software or cloud uploads, which appeals to privacy-conscious users and system administrators who need a portable, scriptable solution for document preparation workflows. PDF Arranger is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
